Into

Midnight Madness

Orchidelirium cover

Into - Theatre Passe Muraille

The poster for an early production of 'First Strike'. Phil Phelan designed both the poster and the set for the production and probably that was the best thing about it. The venue was the Tarragon Extra Space and he built a looming ceiling that suggested the audience was all in a bunker.

This is a little heart-breaking in light of the recent decision to nuke all radio drama from CBC. It was not that long ago that CBC ran a full program of radio drama, at a number of time slots, some long-form, some shorter. My involvement with 'The Edible Woman' began with this radio adaptation, which was part of a series of radio plays adapted from well-known novels.

Cover of season brochure of the Festival Players of Prince Edward County. They are producing Test Drive in 2014. The car on this cover is (I believe) a Ford and the play is about American Motors, but never mind. It's a great car and a great theatre company.
